I got call from iit Kanpur for Ph.D programme (test and interview). which area should i focus for test. I had read your article about iit kanpur interview but that was for ms(research). Is there any difference between ms and Ph.D exam test?
Hello Prankur,
Preliminary Screening pattern is common for MTech and PhD (i.e written test is similar).
Interviews will be of 2 rounds. Those who clear the first round will be taken for lab visits and will be grilled for final selection in the second round of interview.
In the first round, you'll be asked questions to test your basic concepts which you learnt in your previous course. They may also ask questions on your projects.
Second round is expected to be more tricky and detailed (your concepts will be tested). Aptitude matters a lot in this round.
Do not guess any answers nor be too overconfident. If you do not know, simply accept and say no.
Don't project yourself as someone whose life depends upon this interview.
Select and read about the guides you want to work under.
Above Information is first hand experience of a student from IIT Kanpur.
Hope it helps
Stay positive and best wishes
